Preparation

Prepare noddles per package instructions (discarding packets). Drain and let cool slightly.
While noodles cool, mix eggs in large bowl then add noodles and mix until evenly coated with egg.
Form noodles into 8 patties roughly 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" and refrigerate for 20 min or over night. *
Mix ground meat, scallions, soy sauce and sesame oil and form into 4 patties just less than 1/2" thick.
For the sauce, combine last 5 ingredients in small sauce pan. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer for 10 mins.
Heat 2 t canola oil in 12" non stick pan over med high heat. Add 2 noodle buns and cook 2-3 min side or until just golden on each side. Repeat with remaining and set a side.
In same pan (or 2) heat 2 t oil over med high heat and cook patties until desired doneness.
Assemble : divide arugula by 4 and lay on 4 buns, add patties, sauce, remaining scallions, and them bun top.
* This can be done by lining an egg round with plastic wrap, fill with noodles and fold plastic wrap over to cover and place a empty ramekin or small bowl on top for weight. Or just form into patties on a piece of 9" wide plastic wrap and fold over to hold the shape and lay a small bowl on top. This weight helps form the "bun" and keeps it from becoming too loose and falling apart while frying.
